About me
I am Sofia, a young and sportive girl with a passion for life. I am enthusiastic, full of energy and at the same time, empathetic.
I have had always been surrounded by untraditional pets and animals: naked cats, who require special care, a furret, who was much smarter than I expected, horses, with who you create a special bond, and also a small-size dog.
I enjoy being immersed in nature while being in movement. In fact, I spend most of my free time playing different sports outdoor. Being with a dog outside represents for me a great opportunity to play, enjoy, breathe and recharge.
I am biology scientist and I am really interested in life mechanisms and secrets, from an ultra-structural point of view to a behavoural one. My master project was in fact about animal behaviour. I always find it very interesting to observe the species differences as well as how smart and self-substainable is the body of living things. In nature collaboration, absence of waste and cycles always prevail.
I worked in Prolife, a company that provides high-quality food for pets, thanks to which I increased my knoledge about the topic.
My experience as a petsitter
I have been brought up as an only child surrounded by animals. Thanks to this, I developed my understanding of their behaviour. As already mentioned, I have been around different types of animals: cats, dogs, furret, horses, rabbit and mice.
I also have some theoretical biology-medicine knowledge, which can help to face several situations. In addition, unfortunately, my pets underwent some illnesses and disease, due to which I expanded my practical knowledge.
I have never been a professional petsitter and I am enthusiastic to start with this new experience. I am willing to meet the pet owner's requests and peculiarity. I am also open to unconventional requests.
Services provided
I can offer all the basics services, in which are not included trainings and injections administration. I will board 3 dogs at the same time maximum. My walks can last up to 2 hours, depending on the dog. I offer 3 dog walks per day.
I have full availabilities during the day, weekend included. During some days (mostly tuesday and thursday) I am out of house in the evening for 3 hours.
I prefer to give services in the costumer house.

2nd great experience where we came home to cats acting normal and unstressed, which we needed after a long day of travel back from France. Has made traveling to see family change from a hassle of trying to wrangle every cat into their carry cases so we can put them into a kennel to a smooth experience of just "coming home."
Came home to find our three cats had been taken care of, and saw (we arrived home coincidentally while Sofia was doing her last arranged visit) that our cats had warmed up to her and playing/letting her pet them.
Allowed my family to visit my grandparents in Germany without any issues/worries, and kept the cats much less stressed than arranging a stay in a shelter, which we greatly appreciate, and she clearly cared for the pets. Would gladly work with her again if our schedules align with any future trips
